SUBJECT: UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING - SOUTHEASTERLY CORNER OF NEWPORT
AVENUE AND MAIN STREET
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council at a recent meeting requested staff to review the
remaining overhead utility poles/facilities at the southeasterly corner
of Newport Avenue and Main Street with respect to the potential under -
grounding of these facilities and to determine the cost for said work.
DISCUSSION:
A field review reveals that there are four utility poles that would
require removal/undergrounding. These poles are shown in the
approximate locations on the attached map. It is estimated that
approximately 430 lineal feet of overhead utilities would be required to
be undergrounded at an estimated cost of $94,000.00.
These overhead lines are all located within overhead easements on
private property and would require new underground easements with
construction in the backyards and/or open spaces of the apartment
complexes. This construction would result in a disruption to each of
the affected properties. Additionally, four overhead services would
have to be converted to underground services with the property owners
bearing the cost of the conversions.
Visibility of two of the four utility poles is about 80% obstructed with
the new building, while visibility on the remaining two utility poles is
about 50% obstructed with landscaping/trees. Due to the complexity and
estimated cost of undergrounding the facilities, staff recommends
against any undergrounding of these facilities.
